Holiday Events

I am always trying to find low cost, family friendly activities to do for the holidays and I ran across a few that I wanted to share.

2010 Holiday Event Guide for the Portland Metro area. This guide has tons of activities however some are definitely not for the cost conscious.

Downtown Gresham kicks off their Spirit of Christmas Saturday evening at 6pm. Santa Claus will be there and most merchants will be open later. **Our family usually goes to this event and has always had a good time singing Christmas Carols, drinking hot cocoa and exploring the local merchants**

Always fun for our family too is just getting in the car, turning on a Christmas CD and driving around looking at Christmas lights. There are several "organized" displays near by that we have gone to over the years but remember there might be some right in your own neighborhood.
